EDIT: And are giant robots and magical swords actually things we might be likely to own?  

Do immortals(or anyone for that matter) have capacity for active magic?

Okay, immortals can definitely gain magical powers, and that is one thing working on at the moment.
Immortals will likely not own a giant robot, although I like that idea though, and definitely will own magical weapons.
